[Healeys] Sticker stock- machine shop labor

[S and T Miller]

It's probably been 10 yrs since I last rebuilt an AH engine, so I might just be out of touch the rising costs. Has anyone recently had machine shop work done on a 100 engine and could you let me know if what I paid seems reasonable? I've had work done at this particular shop and consider them the best around, so the quality of work isn't questioned. Keep in mind I supplied all parts (valves, springs, guides, cam bearings,  freeze plugs, etc.). Also I delivered a disassembled engine, and I'm assembling the engine.

Clean and machine stock flywheel $140

Head- cook, Magna Flux, replace guides, machine seats/ guides, resurface,  and assembly $510

Clean, Magna flux and resize rods $260

Clean/ grind crank and machine slinger area for rear seal kit $580

Block- cook, deck, install one cylinder sleeve, bore all 4, line bore mains, install cam bearings, install freeze plugs, machine lip off rear main cap for rear seal kit. $1,675

I know this is a loaded question,  and really just curious if these seem a bit inflated. When I Googled average costs, it seems high, but then again,  it's not a Chevy.
TY, Shawn
